The files are different.
LOC files contain the cache name, the coordinates, the waypoint (GCxxxx) and an
HTML link to the cache page itself.
GPX files contain much more information - for instance, I download a GPX file
for my Palm Pilot and I get the cache name, a description, the difficulty, the
coordinates (of course), whether or not any travel bugs are present, the
instructions, and past logs. Very helpful, but a more robust translation
utility is required. Also, the .gpx files are much larger given the same
number of caches.
Some programs can use either one, some will only use the .loc files.
Does that help?
